Another of Barack Obama’s moral compasses shows us what Barry has been taught for the last twenty years, and the blogs have gone nuts. Not only the blogs, but Sean Hannity, Mark Levin and others have shown what type of hate speech Obama sat and listened to for 20 years.
If you have been living under a rock, and don’t know what I am talking about, here is the video that started it all:
This is at Barack’s church, Trinity United Church of Christ, and the speaker, Father Michael Pfleger, had, until recently, written a testimonial on Barry’s campaign website. The Husaria has the screen shot, which has apparently been taken off the site.
Gateway Pundit illustrates how close Father Pfleger is to the campaign. Obama’s campaign manager is David Axelrod, who just happens to be listed as top chair in Father Pfleger’s church.
A Newt One found an article in the Chicago Tribune that they say “excoriates” Father Pfleger:
Pfleger talks of exposing “white entitlement and supremacy wherever it raises its head,” and then theatrically mocks Sen. Hillary Clinton. He stalks around the stage of Trinity United Church of Christ. He thunders: “When Hillary was crying, and people said that was put on, I really don’t believe it was put on. I really believe that she just always thought: ‘This is mine! I’m Bill’s wife, I’m white and this is mine! I just gotta get up and step into the plate.’ And then out of nowhere came, ‘Hey, I’m Barack Obama’ and she said: ‘Oh, damn. Where did you come from? I’m white! I’m entitled! There’s a black man stealing my show!’ ”
Then he theatrically feigns tears and says: “She wasn’t the only one crying. There were a whole lot of white people crying.”
His words at Trinity showed an astounding lack of decency and good sense. It wasn’t a homily. It was a mocking, self-serving screed.
His act is getting old. A few months ago, Pfleger suggested that opponents of placing the Chicago Children’s Museum in Grant Park didn’t want black children in their neighborhood. Take what position you want on the museum, but it’s divisive and destructive to claim that racism is the motivation for opposition.
Obama said Pfleger’s words were “divisive” and “backward-looking.”
Pfleger apologized for what he said at Trinity.
Obama wants us to think this is an unusual sermon for Pfleger, but it isn’t. Pfleger wants us to think he is sorry, but he isn’t. The only thing he might feel sorry for is hurting Barry’s chance at the White House. He certainly isn’t sorry for hurting Hillary’s feelings, or anyone else’s.
Pfleger also has some kind words for professional Jew hater Louis Farrakhan. Sweetness & Light reminds us of the issue of “The Trumpet” that named Minister Farrakhan recipient of the “Jeremiah Wright Lifetime Achievement award.” In that issue, Pfleger was quoted:
“Minister Farrakhan is probably one of the most misunderstood and mis-defined leaders of our day,†says Pfleger. “When you don’t want to deal with someone’s truth, you try to destroy their character or redefine them …That’s what the media has sought to do with Minister Farrakhan. His truth causes America to face its racism and its hypocrisy.â€
“Minister Farrakhan has been a personal friend for more than 20 years,†continues Pfleger. “His leadership has evolved, and I believe the coming days will see him as a unifying force, calling real Christians, real Jews and real Muslims to come together on principles of truth and justice… Contrary to those who want to make him anti-white and anti-Semitic, I believe Minister Farrakhan is presently building the umbrella for people of conscience to come together no matter the race or creed. I am honored to call him my brother.â€
I’m sure that Barack never knew Father Pfleger had such warm feeling for Farrakhan. After all, he has only known the good Father for decades. The Liberty Sphere says that Pfleger raised funds for Barry’s state campaign. Then Barack directed over $200,000 in tax-payer money to his church. He even brought Pfleger to Iowa to help campaign.
But this is just guilt by association, right?
Elsewhere, the Catholic Church isn’t happy with Pfleger. Yesterday, “Cardinal Francis George of the Archdiocese of Chicago has HAMMERED Father Michael Pfleger of St. Sabina’s Catholic Church on the South Side of Chicago over his comments at Trinity United Church of Christ this past Sunday”:
“Racial issues are both political and moral and are also highly charged. Words can be differently interpreted, but Fr. Pfleger’s remarks about Senator Clinton are both partisan and amount to a personal attack. I regret that deeply.
“To avoid months of turmoil in the church, Fr. Pfleger has promised me that he will not enter into campaigning, will not publicly mention any candidate by name and will abide by the discipline common to all catholic priests.â€
But the church knows about Pfleger’s racist diatribes and oddly, they refuse to do anything. In 2002, Pfleger stood before a crowd of 400 and said, “I am not quitting. You are going to have to have the balls to fire me.” This is a priest, folks. What is wrong with this picture?
If the church won’t act, the parishioners will, it seems. Michelle Malkin reports on a Catholic group called “Catholics Against Pfleger,” saying “Several readers e-mail that a group called Catholic Mothers Against Politics & Hate Being Preached From The Pulpit has set up a petition against race-baiting Rev. Michael Pfleger.” Here’s the link to that petition.
There are so many articles out there that are talking about this guy and the fact that Barack Obama has surrounded himself with some very hard core leftist beliefs. This isn’t an accident, folks. This is a deliberate act to further his political career. He has listened to these folks, and called them his mentor and spiritual compass. If you cannot see the problem with his associations, then you are without a brainstem. AS George Washington said:
Associate with men of good quality if you esteem your own reputation; for it is better to be alone than in bad company.
And for those like Alan Colmes, who keep repeating the mantra “But, but Hagee…but Parsley,” I’ll try to explain the difference. McCain did not associate with these folks for 20+ years. He did not attend their churches, listen to their sermons and just nod along until they became political baggage. He didn’t throw his own grandmother under a bus rather than distance himself from them. McCain just cut them loose. Embracing them just shows a lack of intelligence on his campaign for not vetting them before embracing them.
I am no McCain supporter, but be realistic. There just is no comparison, so just stop it.
